SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE FOR AN OPEN LAND MARKET: PROSPECTS OR CHALLENGES?
Abstract
The activities of state regulation in the field of land use have formed a number of environmental, socio-economic problems based on individual, regional and national interests. This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of the impact on sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the new legislative challenges in lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land resources. This study focuses on the implementation of sustainable development goals, including goal 15 – conservation of terrestrial ecosystems and operational task 15.3 – restoration of degraded lands and soils using innovative technologies. Systematization of research in the field of sustainable land use has revealed the need for additional analysis and search for new ways to reform the land use sector, taking into account institutional and legislative changes, as well as the formation of carbon-neutral model of national economy. The purpose of the article is to identify prospects and possible threats to the development of sustainable agricultural land use in an open land market. To achieve this goal, the tools of comparative analysis were used in the work. The object of research is the land fund of Ukraine. The study period is from 2015 to 2020. The sources of statistical information were the statistical databases of the statistical organization of the European Commission (Eurostat), the World Bank and the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The paper presents the mechanisms of influence on effective sustainable agricultural land use, taking into account the studied statistical information and today's realities. The conducted comparative analysis of the condition of agricultural lands and systematization of normative legal acts regulating the land use industry revealed a number of potentially possible problems. To prevent negative consequences in the field of land use, the authors propose a set of measures to stabilize the sustainable development of agricultural land use.
